There is a tradition in Seattle, the weekends after the first day of summer. Fremont has its Solstice festival and parade. One component of this, and it shows up rain or shine, is e Naked Bike Riders! Yep, all they wear is maybe shoes, and body paint. Here is a picture from my friend Debbie. She lives in Ballard, and the nakedity gathered in her parking lot. They applied their paint and are ready to go!
Don’t look too closely if you are easily offended! 🙂
Gotta love the Left Coast…
That’s hysterical, but also seems like it would also be quite painful at the same time!
Wish I was there, lol!
At least this year it was warm! Then parade was delayed so they were out there for hours!
wait, so they do this even in the cold??
Te first year I saw them, it was 55 degrees, raining steady and windy (normal around here in early summer) and yep, they were biking without a stitch!
Woah…I come from a pretty warm climate and hate the cold, so I can’t even begin to imagine how cold they must be. Perhaps I will come see them one day! 😀
I bundle up when I ride in the rain! :). They ride every year, the saturday after summer starts. In Fremont, a very cool part of Seattle. It’s the more art part of town, I get the feeling you’d really like it.
I think I will. I’m planning for a trip to the US in December, and I’ve never been to Seattle (the only places I’ve been to on West Coast are LA and San Francisco) so maybe I’ll visit when I’m there!
December is cold and rainy, But the city decorates up for Christmas so it’s very pretty! Bring a coat and an umbrella! But come on over!
